I used to talk with him a lot when he was still posting, usually on AIM but occasionally on WoW. He used to play Diplomacy with us too. He seemed an all around good guy.

I'm joining Nikose in that I have no idea what to say other than I'll be praying for him and his family. Strange it should fall the day before Good Friday. Geez, I'm tearing up now. I wonder what drove him to this.

I've been trying to figure out something to say, I'm never been good with dealing with suicide of those who I knew. He was a great guy from what I've talked to him with and I hope his family is dealing alright with this and my thoughts go out to them. I hope he's in a better place.

This has certainly colored my day. I was worried about work when I woke up, but then I got on NPF and this was here. I've spent the whole day thinking about what to say here. I mean, I didn't know the guy. He doesn't know me. His family might be creeped out if they saw that was aware of this but was writing about the last game I played. But, I don't know. I guess I feel like even saying "I don't know what to say" is better than saying nothing at all.

Thanks, Kerensky, for letting us know, even if it's sad news. At least we know what happened. At least he didn't just fade away.

This is trully something sad, saw him around here for quite sometime even though i never had much direct contact with him. I don't know much about him, but it seemed like a nice fella and i certainly do believe he deserved more than going out this way.

Googling his name will pop up a few entries this one of the Queen's Journal has a tad more info about it. Strange enough, knowing more about the guy makes suicide seems even more weird.

Of course i'm not trying to pull some sort of shit-ass theory here, just saying that it makes you think of how many people we actually know and how the little things can make or break a person's spirit.

I trully hope his family can find peace eventually.

Wow. I don't really know what to say.

I didn't know 42 really well, but he seemed like a cool guy. I always enjoyed reading what he had to say.

He will be missed. My prayers are with his family

Rest in peace, 42.

Oh, fuck, one of the few times I was on Yaplet, he was talking about suicide, like some of the other posters said here, Didn't even know he was serious, this is kind of a dark spot, NPF.

Didn't know him that well, It was good of you to let everyone know, Kerensky.

I hope his family is allright.

So I read this y'know roughly around 2am when I had come home, and I thought to myself "What the hell can I say?" I figured I should let it sit for a while and see if the daily grind brought anything out of me. I gave myself some time to have a little existential crisis, but other than that, there's nothing profound coming here.

I legitimately liked 42 (which I would always pronounce "forty-twosworth" both aloud and in my mind,) he was a good kid with a steady head on his shoulders. We would talk about every couple of months on aim or on faplet and more or less catch up on each other's lives. He would always show amusement at my crappy sense of humor and always stored away unimportant pieces of information I shared like my sister's name.

And he was Pro-"faplet", which I always HUGELY appreciated.

I truly regret not having the chance to meet him in person.

In y'know, real life, friends come and go, and those who are important to us stay with us - no matter where they may live or how they may live their life. The internet, is a bit more... solvent shall we say. The bonds made over a message board are much less tangible. I know that when we all become grandpas and grandmas, it's not very likely we'll remember the walls of text we called people here on NPF. I just hope everyone doesn't forget about Jack so quickly - that we try to keep him in the back of our minds at least.

That'd be nice.

I didn't know him well either but damn...

This event has actually shown me I'm capable of definite empathy with people on these forums. I even thought of it and the fact that it was April Fool's Day while driving home yesterday. Also he was way too young, this is a fucking shame.

Given as it seems somewhat reasonably legit, maybe someone should send 42 petunias to his gravesite.

Why just one person? I think there should be a central place to pool a small sum for that purpose. Just research what it costs, put up a link, and put how much money is still needed on a daily basis or something.
